Here's something else I'm looking for that may not exist. First I would like to find out if it does, then I'll worry about whether I can afford it.I used to carry around 6 x 9 inch (15 x 23 cm) notebooks with my bonsai & orchid records in them, but that became too cumbersome. I wonder if there is an electronic equivalent. The screen would have to be at the very least 4 x 6 inches, 6 x 9 would be better. It would be a read-only to carry in my purse or tote-bag. The information would be down-loaded from my Mac. Total number of records maximum would probably not exceed 80, two or three pages plus a photo, although some of the orchid pedigrees run to several pages. Is there any such thing, & about how much would it cost?Iris

Check tablets. They will do that and a lot more. Older version can be had for cheap sometimes.

Check this...no sound but you MIGHT get it for cheap because of it.http://www.ebay.com/itm/MID-Google-Android-7-inch-Touch-Tablet-PC-Silver-Pad-Wifi-1-cent-FREE-Shipping-/290729147561?pt=US_Tablets&hash=item43b0cebca9

Since you already have a Mac and if you have either a iPhone or iPad there is a database programs called bento that would probably work pretty good for what you need. The Mac version and mobile versions sinc over wifi. I havnt used either version so I don't make any claims on how well these work but they do have pretty good ratings.

The Mac version looks like it costs $50 and the mobile versions look to be $10 or less.

IrisIt's much easier to transfer data from a Mac to Mac, then it is to transfer Mac to IBM, especially photo's. So a IPhone or iPad would be easier to repopulate with your data, not to mention the ease of use.

Depending on your cell phone carrier, AT&T usually buy any non-ATT contrac and make you a great deal on a IPhone, I got mine for about $50.00usd

Thank you for the suggestions. We're not in the market for an iPhone or iPad at present. The Android seems worth pursuing, but not that particular one. Sound? No, I don't need sound. My plants holler at me enough as it is.Iris

One alternative worth considering would be an old iPod Touch, second-hand from ebay. A low-end model (8GB, 2nd generation onwards) would do the job for you, if you can live with the screen size - think of it as a miniature iPad. As you're a Mac user, it's going to be a better experience than an android device in terms of compatibility with your existing stuff.
